I'm wondering whether one of these (usually $100) 7.62x54R Mosin Nagants would be a decent choice as a first high-powered rifle for me???
Is it difficult to mount a scope on them? Are they very accurate at 100~200 yards?
If they are "hit and miss" (pardon the pun) and/or not particularly accurate at more than 100 yards, then I think I'd rather hold out longer until I can afford something better.
Thanks!
